Department of Pediatrics
A word from our chair
"Leading the Department of Pediatrics at Carilion Clinic as Chair of Pediatrics allows me to be part of a healthcare organization committed to all the children of Southwest Virginia. I am privileged to work alongside talented physicians and staff to build the next generation academic pediatric healthcare system that combines cutting edge clinical medicine, educates our future physicians, and contributes to medical advancement through research. Our collaborative culture and forward-thinking approach aligned with a model of “oneness” across Carilion Clinic is empowering me to build the Carilion Children’s program that our patients and families deserve, and other healthcare systems aspire to emulate."
